Akira's Trial — The Mirror of Resolve
Akira found himself in a vast chamber of polished glass. His reflection stared back at him—but it was not just one image.
A hundred versions of himself stood around, each embodying a fear, a regret, or a failure.
"You must face all parts of yourself, accept your darkness, or be broken by it."
Shadows whispered doubts and memories of loss. The chamber trembled as Akira's own insecurities surged.

Kuroo's Trial — The Abyss of Power
Kuroo stood on a jagged precipice, staring into an endless chasm swirling with shadowy tendrils. The abyss spoke to him in twisted voices, promising ultimate strength if only he would surrender.
"Give in to your darkness. Let it consume. Then you will rule."
Temptation clawed at Kuroo's heart, but his eyes burned with defiance.
He raised his hand, summoning void energy, and with a roar, he hurled himself into the abyss—not to be swallowed, but to command it.
The tendrils fought back, but Kuroo bent the shadows to his will, transforming the abyss into his throne.
